DAVID PETER KRYMINSKI
September 25, 1954 - May 28, 2017
David was predeceased by his life partner Doris Gregoire, father Paul Sr. and mother Jean (nee Wyspinski).
David was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB. He was a studious child, teaching himself to build model airplanes from kits that he got from his aunty Lena LaPlume's grocery store. This curiousity and attention to detail would benefit him in later years as a self-taught mechanic.
After graduation from Sisler High School, he moved to northern Manitoba working at various jobs to gain work experience.
After a few years, he returned to Winnipeg and started his trucking career with Merchants Consolidated, where he worked for many years. He continued his professional driving with BFI, Paul's Hauling and eventually made the decision to run his own truck. Following this, he joined Jade Transport and worked there until his untimely passing.
David was proud of his profession, and was happiest when driving his big rig truck No. 99, which he fondly called "The Great One". Over the years, he enjoyed riding his motorcycles and exploring the highways and back roads of the country. He welcomed meeting and talking with people he met along the way. In quieter moments he taught himself to play the guitar and kept up-to-date with the latest innovations in technology and science.
Above all, he cherished special moments with his family and friends. He was honoured to be included in "A Portrait of David" exhibit at the Winnipeg Art Gallery in 1994.
"David, we miss your smile,
your laughter and warm-hearted spirit".

It's been four years since we lost a great friend, cousin, and good man. He was always a person of great character, genuine friendship, and he easily shared of himself, and you could always count on his joyous smile, and warm laughter. He was a really great friend and mentor to me, and I learned so much about life, work, enjoyment of time together snowmobiling and riding motorcycles. He was a great teacher in showing me how to do things. He was a calm and patient man and I learned a lot from him, and these have become my values in life, and how I have chosen to live my life as well. I can never repay him but I do so, when I encourage others. - Posted by: Randy La Plume (Cousin ) on: May 28, 2021

David was one of our “cousins” through our mothers association. From the residential school days. I’m referring to Florence Beardy, David’s stepmom. Florence and Jane were like sisters at times and the bond between two families came together. Although we were not blood relatives, our families were intertwined by many family events at holidays and times at the lake. David was always happy and enjoyed to be around people. Always the reliable one to work and be responsible; his example of dedication to an honest days work was to be admired. He was self taught in many areas of his life and it showed through his accomplishments. You will be missed David! - Posted by: Terry Marx (Close family frirnd) on: Dec 19, 2019
